If I just point in the general direction of all the blank days in the archives (oh well, at least I didn't break my resolution until JULY... take that!) you'll understand how horribly boring things are around here, right? I think I'll go to bed relatively early tonight, and maybe hopefully do something tomorrow. Day off... but not much use. I didn't do much of anything on my other days off, either. And I slept most of yesterday, because it was cold and no one else was up. It's so lonely in here when I get back from work and no one else is up. It's like the only time of day that anything goes on in this house is around 1 or 2 in the morning. And I'm tired now! But that's a good sign.. maybe I can start getting up at a decent time now. That might cheer me up.

Stargate without Daniel Jackson still depresses me. I don't think it'll ever be any different. Sigh.

I think the horrible soul-consuming boredom of last summer has made its full return. And I thought it was bad when my mom couldn't go anywhere because she was sick... holy cow. I have been nowhere but the theatre, the grocery store, and the mall pretty much the entire summer (Cinci is the only exception, I think). I'm totally lost for what I should do with myself right now. If no one gets up tomorrow morning with something to do, I think I'll go to the library and just randomly pick up books. I'm not even sure if I'll care what they're about at this point. Well.. yes I will. I'm very picky about the books I'll actually finish willingly. It doesn't take a whole lot to turn me off to a book. And I need to do something that doesn't involve hearing things in one language and reading another. This subtitle stuff is evil (not as evil as dubbing, though). What sucks is that I know exactly what would entertain me in my head, but it's sort of just trapped there. I can't write it down because I can't get all the detail. And I can't really do anything else with it, either... blasted evil imagination, caging itself like this. Though I should really buckle down and let myself write down my new story idea, since I know I'm going to kill it dead if I don't do something with it soon. Poor thing.

OK... I'm going to have to start doing this for myself again... tomorrow I need to find myself something to read. I need to start writing my random story (I'm saying screw it to the style issues now, because when I try to write any other way it sounds insanely corny. I think what I needed was a premise that actually lends itself to the rather sarcastic and unevenly-paced way I write. Reference back to Sidetrips... which will alas never be completed, but as far as I'm concerned at this point is still amusing so it's held up much better than a lot of other things I've written by myself. Why are there holes in all of my pants?) I need another character to fall in love with. All the awesome ones keep dying. Actually, I'm tempted to start my story off with this really awesome character that you'd think would be there for the entire story, and then kill him off really quickly. But I'd probably like him too much and not be able to kill him. I can kill off boring and evil characters pretty easily. What the heck was I talking about before this? Right... I'd go outside to read or something too, but it's been cold out lately. And right now cold is like, low 70s, because I've gotten used to upper 80s. I guess the first part of summer spoiled me. OK... and for some reason I've got this really depressed feeling about... well, not exactly going back to school this fall, but coming back home again this winter. I remember how horribly depressing it was, and I don't want to go through that again. But I know it will be twice as horrible to spend Christmas by myself in Chicago, and I've got no idea why this is bothering me now. Probably because it won't have time to bother me during the school year because I'll be too busy trying to find amusing people to hang around with and getting some clingy people off of my back. Right-o.. howscome I can find a whole total of two awesome people out of like, 25ish total people working at the theatre but only one or two out of the ton at Chicago. Not to say that it lacks its own supply of moderately awesome people. I just feel like we don't have that nice little... Chicago's just too freaking pretentious sometimes, that's what it is. And that's the part I don't want to go back to. I think that's what I'm hoping I'll avoid in UT. Goodness I hope I can manage to get myself cast in something. I don't even really care what it is. And...heh... I know not many of my friends on the floor will come see me. And that doesn't bother me at all. Because it's not their thing. And they'd be tempted to offer me their opinion, which isn't very fun. I rather dislike opinions that are felt so much that they're truth to the believer. Stupid opinions.

I have totally derailed my own train of thought here. Why don't I want to go back to Chicago now? It's not like I want to stay here. I want to get out of here again... but I feel trapped the same way in Chicago. I need to find something I like to do. I never felt this trapped and confused in high school. Then again... look at how sheltered that was. Eep. So I guess dealing with this is part of "real life." Ha. Like that exists in the ivy towers.

Bitter. Sorry. I don't know what's wrong with me anymore.

Who knows when this will finally get posted.. but I should make some sort of effort to write down all those dreams I skipped writing down while I was being lazy and not writing anything down. I'm a horrible person, sorry. I really should be more on top of things.. It's not like I'm busy or anything. I miss the me at school, who had motivation to wake up in the morning and actually got stuff down. And had things worth writing down in here, even if it was mostly complaining. I can be so fickle (that comment is completely unrelated, actually). If that me could move here, I'd be happy. But that me would be so bored here. This me is bored here. Maybe there isn't a difference. But this me has to act a lot at the theatre, and is getting a little stir-crazy. Case-in-point, the fortune-teller of concession DOOM I left on the counter before I went home today. I hope my concession-buddy picked it up or something before she left... I don't think I wrote anything on there that could be construed as a death threat, but with people you never know. I think the most evil thing I wrote on there was "DOOM." And possibly "You will be eaten by the popper." Oh, or "demons have possessed your soul." I'm picturing someone on the next shift down trying it and getting one of those. Oh dear. It's funny, though. I think most of my coworkers would be amused or just throw it away.

Anyway... dreams. Letsee... this is going to be really random and useless, but I'm going to write down the ones I can remember at all. I don't know if I wrote down the one about Sketchy and her brother and the crack addict in my friends' car, and the giant hotel full of nudist bathing celebrities, and drinking paint thinner-and-Sprite while watching Eva, but I think I wrote it down. It might have just been in an IM with Sketchy though, so if I don't find it here I'll come back and write it down later. Some time after that one (I believe it was the next night) I had some strange dream in this giant eBay storage attic (there was also some random running around in a theatre that may or may not be mixed in from another dream at some point) that had this filthy Sakura costume in it. There was a whole big other part to that one, but it's beyond me right now. Probably permanently, though something might randomly make me remember it later.

Backwards drums are love.

I feel like there's a dream missing between the Sakura-attic-eBay one and this one, but I can't remember it. This one's the one that's gonna get fleshed out into some sort of story at some point, though. I was sitting at home when Dubyah decided to create a squad of Anti-Terrorism Ninjas, and for some reason I was picked to be one of them. I was really excited because it meant I had a good reason to get in shape. I was jumping from roof to roof perfecting my camouflage. I ended up hiding in the middle of these random meetings of foreigners in the streets, and then in this room where people were playing Dance Dance until this lady forced me to play percussion on these giant pumpkins. I got frustrated and threw them and there was some Smashing Pumpkins joke in there somewhere.

There were a ton of dreams Friday while I napped on the couch for like, six hours but I can't remember them right now for some reason. They weren't all that interesting, either. I think the missing day's dreams had something to do with some ridiculous soap opera and being kidnapped by someone who was actually in love with me. Oh! And this guy who found out his food was raw and ended up riding a giant barbell into this lake only to hit a fish and then be eaten. Yeah... read that sentence a few times. And last night the only part of my dream I can remember is this bit in a tent by where my old house was... this samurai guy was stalking me and trying to hit me in some part of my back that would make me freeze, but I kept dodging him. He was rather impressed.

Obviously all these dreams mean that some day I will be the world's only Door-to-Door Computer Specialist Ninja Exorcist. This is my goal. It will make my autobiography more interesting when I write it in like, 40 or so years.

Well, I was going to watch the Cowboy Bebop movie in French for fun, but it's after two now.. and I don't fee like staying up that late. Maybe I'll just watch the end of it, since I already watched about half of it in French already. That wouldn't hurt. And watching things in French is fun. Oh! Which reminds me I need to almost completely overhaul my schedule for next quarter soon... I don't want to be stuck in French now that I've decided not to major in English. And I need to find something other than Chemistry because I don't think it'll be very fun. I think I'll take Physics if I can find a good time (not taking that English class opens up a good time for me, I think), so I'l have a decent excuse (and way) to take Astrophysics later on if I have time. Mmm, astrophysics. I still wish I could be an astronomer. I shouldn't have been stupid enough to go to a school without an astronomy major. Then again, no one else gave me a deal like Chicago did. I'd be so happy at Carnegie with a major in CompSci and Theatre though. Oh-my-goodness. But my mom totally wouldn't approve of that, though. That's probably why she didn't send Chicago's fin-aid offer to them. Now that she's heard about my English major though, I bet she wouldn't mind so much. Mwahaha. At least people have talked some sense into me, though. Ohh I wish I knew what I was doing. If I could just find something I love to do (oh wait! That's random programming and taking computers apart... maybe I should stop letting people talk me out of things!).

Ok, for no particular reason this has been bothering me all day... We all know that Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sauske are not the way the names are in English. We switch them automatically. But we all call Rock Lee Rock Lee. And Lee Rock just sounds wrong. He's Rock Lee. And if they ever translated it into English officially, he'd probably be Lee Rock. And that just... would never work. If you call the boy Lee Rock, he's just not the same. Lee Rock would be a totally different person than Rock Lee. Rock Lee fits. Lee Rock does not.

Rock Lee is still awesome though... for some reason that I completely fail to understand.

A brief hooray to AOL for finally letting me post those three rather unnecessary entries from late last night (shortly before I decided to work on my odd dream-related short story, which at this point is mosty me naming characters and talking to them). Another hooray to other things for finally getting my schedule for next quarter properly sorted out. It's much simpler now that I've decided to ditch the English major (writing's for fun time... I'll be my own critic, not those stingy professors). Now I'm in Computer Science in the morning MWF, followed by yucky Discreet Mathematics from 11:30-12:20. Wednesday I've got a compsci lab and a physics discussion in the evening... TTh I have Sosc in the morning, then Physics, and on Thursday I have the physics lab from 1:30 to awful in the evening. Which is better than awful to 9:30 at night. I sat here for like, three hours staring at the schedules and wondering why everything in the world I wanted to take or needed to conflicted with my physics lab. Then I finally found one of my compsci majors that I needed that fit in on Monday-Wednesday and I was happy. Despite the fact that it adds even more math to my schedule. Oh well... less stressful than writing, because at least I know the teacher can't randomly hold things against me. Except there are proofs involved. And we all know how much I hate proofs. Oh well... maybe I'll finally get the hang of them this time, I think I'll see enough of them this year. And hopefully in the winter I'll be able to fit in Civ and my Bio topics class. Eep. I think if I survive this quarter, I'll.. throw a party or something. Yay!
